But who is a fascist? Few people will openly profess being one; many more will be accused (by somebody somewhere) of being a fascist even though they insist they are not. So, are you saying we should be intolerant only of self-professed fascists? Or also people who are labelled as fascists even if they claim not to be? But if the later – since anyone can levy the accusation, who will be given the power to decide which accusations of "fascism" are sufficiently proven to justify intolerance, and which ought to be dismissed? And how do you ensure that whoever is granted this power will not abuse it?
- idontwantthis 5y agoFortunately, like conservatives, liberals also have critical thinking skills and opinions, and are able to disagree on who to protest and how vigorously.
- skissane 5y agoSo we should debate it? But how do we decide who wins the debate? Should we have a majority vote? If the majority believes a belief deserves our tolerance, then it should be tolerated, otherwise not?
